You guys make me sick... how hard is a classic mustang to restore?? Let's see... they make EVERY part of a mustang and it's the most common old car on the road. Don't get me wrong, i'm jealous as hell for the repo parts and availability, but it just makes me angry to think that mustangs are HARD to redo to modern times. I drive my old beast every damn day to school and work, i have done this for 3 years... now this is hard, but it is deffinately doable. Now, the AC is only important if you live in like TX or CA
... brakes can be upgraded and wheels are just about selection and engine is all about how fast you want to go and trans is about which brand you prefer... you'll do just about the same to a new stang if you're a car enthusiast. I've put about 10K into my MERCURY METEOR - which BTW they only made 2500 of in 1963!! - and i have great brakes/wheels/engine/trans/exhaust/interior/body & paint... and you WILL get girls... in fact, i had one girl yell out to me "can i f$ck you in your car?!" now that's what i call attention! Just make sure you don't go crazy and you'll be fine with an old car, but remember, it is an old car and needs attention. Want to haulas$ and look good? do it restomod! BTW-you can put a new overdrive auto/stick in a classic no prob... just takes some dough!
